WHAT IS A MATTHEW 25 CHURCH?
A bold vision and invitation to be actively engaged in the world
Matthew 25:31–46 calls all of us to actively engage in the world around us, so our faith comes alive and we wake up to new possibilities. Convicted by this passage, we are challenged to act boldly and compassionately to see our neighbors through Jesus’ eyes and serve those who are marginalized or in need — people who are hungry, thirsty, naked, sick, imprisoned, strangers, poor or oppressed in other ways and in need of welcoming. Jesus calls us to serve with and for “the least of these” — not as a group to be pitied, but as people who are deeply loved by Jesus.
We recognize Christ’s urgent call to be a church of action, where God’s love, justice and mercy shine forth and are contagious. And we rejoice how our re-energized faith can unite all Presbyterians for a common and holy purpose: our common identity to do mission.
WPC’s Commitment to Environmental Stewardship
Westminster affirms that God’s work in creation is wonderful, beautiful, and good.
We recognize that as Christ’s disciples we are responsible to do our part to care for creation, for its own sake and to safeguard the well-being of people everywhere.
Therefore, Westminster is proactive in:
• Reducing unnecessary consumption
• Reusing and repurposing items wherever possible, in order to reduce waste.
• Educating children and adults to value and respect the environment.
• Partnering with organizations that work to protect the environment and to promote healthy, sustainable livelihoods for people around the world.
